Into the Water: A Novel

I hadn't thought that I would read this book, but it is July's #buddyread on Litsy, so I thought I'd give it a try. I am so glad that I did. First off, the format of the story is a little bit hard to get a handle on, but once you can keep the characters straight, it becomes an easily, quickly read mystery. I like the back and forth between first person, and sometimes second person, narrators. The story is never boring, but sometimes I found myself thinking, can we please stop trying to be so coy with the plot line? In the end, I think that any questions I had about who-dunnit, were satisfactorily and plausibly answered. If you like hard to figure out mysteries, this is the book for you.

I wanted to love Into the Water as much as I did The Girl on the Train, so I stuck with it, eventually tearing out the character list near the book’s title page for referencing, just so I could keep up with all the voices! Hawkins is such an excellent writer, and that’s the reason one keeps reading. If anything, readers are reminded by book’s end that nothing, absolutely nothing, is ever as it first appears.

3/5 This book was a little hard to get into at first because it is written in multiple POVs. but one i got going it was a good read. I thought I had guessed the twist a couple of times and then the ending surprised me completely.

A bit of a slow beginning but by the middle I was hooked. Twists until the very last page. Truly enjoyed the characters, particularly Lena as she’s a sassy bitch that murked a grown ass man!!!

Better than girl on the train but the need for animal
Cruelty I have no idea?! Wouldn't say it was possible to know who the killer was and if you did it would be an educated guess so for that reason it's worth a read as far as thrillers go! Not a bad book!
